AngioDynamics Recalls PICC Kits Containing Recalled BD Saline Flush Syringes

AngioDynamics is recalling BioFlo and Xcela PICC kits because they contain BD saline flush syringes that were previously recalled by BD Medical.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is a precautionary measure to remove kits containing components that were previously recalled by another manufacturer. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this specific recall, fitting the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall.
